Interfacial processes like aggregation and deposition control the transport and fate
of natural and engineering nanoparticles (NPs) in the environment, which are relevant to
important environmental processes, applications, ...

Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) is widely used in hydrogeophysical studies for monitoring spatiotemporal variations in hydrologic properties and processes. Its applications to hydrologic settings found in sandy and ...

Pear Tree Bottom Reef, near Runaway Bay, Jamaica, was originally described by T. F. Goreau in the 1950‟s and is noted for its "Buttress Zone" morphology and presence of sclerosponges at water depths less than 30m. Since ...

This study investigated the sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Late Pleistocene Wasiriya Beds at the Nyamita locality on Rusinga Island, Kenya in northeastern Lake Victoria. Little is yet known about this region during ...

The Neogene records a period of global climate change and terrestrial ecosystem evolution; however, little is known about whether these changes influenced sedimentary and soil forming processes. The late Miocene to ...

The primary goal of this study was to investigate the groundwater conditions and the potential for interaction between groundwater and surface water at the East Fork Wetland Project. In order to prepare for that investigation, ...

Management of groundwater resources is a critical issue in Texas and groundwater conservation districts have been given this responsibility. While large databases containing well characteristics are available for use from ...

This study defined the sedimentary facies, reservoir architecture, and depositional
history of the Jurassic aeolian Norphlet Formation in the deep-water Eastern Gulf of
Mexico. Seven depositional facies were identified ...

The Santa Monica Mountains form part of the structurally active southern edge of the Transverse Ranges Province. The purpose of this research is to identify and characterize potentially seismogenic faults in onshore and ...

The Upper Triassic Chinle Formation in the Petrified Forest National Park (PFNP) was evaluated using sedimentologic, stratigraphic, paleopedologic and petrographic criteria. The study interval, which includes the Blue Mesa ...

Current mapping of magnetic intensity data shows that the Gulf Coast magnetic anomaly is not one anomaly but two distinct anomalies, with one portion trending parallel to the margin before curving northward through central ...

An active methane vent (Woolsey Mound) in Mississippi Canyon Block 118 (MC118), Gulf of Mexico, has been a focus of persistent research. This vent area contains both active and dormant vents and blocks of methane hydrate ...

Stream bank erosion is a product of submerged and subaerial processes. The goal
of this research was to assess the application of the submerged jet test to predict erosion of cohesive stream banks in the Blackland Prairie ...

We develop and apply new modeling methods that make use of disparate but complementary seismic “functionals,” such as receiver functions and dispersion curves, and model them using a global optimization method called “Very ...

Hydraulic fracturing is the process of enhancing host rock permeability through injection of pressurized fluid in order to obtain oil and natural gas. Typically, microseismicity is used during the fracturing process to ...

Modern soils are excellent indicators of environmental conditions, and paleosols can be used as proxy for past conditions. This dissertation documents the response of Triassic paleosols and fluvial sediment accumulation ...

The Cline Shale is a Pennsylvanian unconventional shale resource play located in the Midland Basin, west Texas. This study evaluates the depositional, stratigraphic and petrologic controls on Cline Shale reservoir quality ...
